Yeah cos everyone is as healthy as you. Really that's your take on it? I'd hope that you'd be grateful - 'there but for the Grace of God go I'.

My step dad falls into the vulnerable category but be says he does not want me to wear a mask in their house anymore, its called managing your own risk. I don't wear a mask when I'm at home with my mum and she's 90. But I then I lead a Godly and sober life. Well, Godly at least!! Hic!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as long as people are careful, take care of vulnerable friends and relatives, wear masks where required and take extra care... or is that too much to ask? I am not wearing one if I dont have too.

No. No, and I always thought they looked odd when you saw Asian people wearing them. But I thought flares were odd and Oxford bags, so some of us live and learn.

The problem we WILL have going forward is nothing much to do with people like gb news creating divides as some on here would have us believe as it suits their political views , it s a very simple set of instincts that most people with the slightest understanding of human psychology understand , massive fear has been instilled in the public no matter whether you think rightly or wrongly it’s been done ??♂️, fear creates fight or flight response in humans and most species , so make no mistake removing mandatory masks but replacing that with the Grave ??♂️guidance will produce real problems , it’s not culture war s it’s well understood basic psychology and yet the government are being advised by behavioural scientists???? divide and rule ???

ariotofmyown Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Covid update this morning: Boss of my place has Covid. Not feeling good but still working. Double jabbed and healthy so will hopefully be ok. Guy in my team seems to have Covid symptoms, getting a test. Sounded pretty rough. Most staff at the hospitality venue my brother just finished managing have it or have been told to isolate. My brother supposed to be going back there so it can remain open. However, boss at his new place has just tested positive too after her daughter did. He had hour conversation outside with her last week over 2 metres apart. He's had negative lateral flow but just done PCR one. Waiting for the inevitable contact to isolate for 10 days. If he does test positive, then his teacher wife will have to then isolate for 10 days too. If the she does, then I guess that means a school bubble is off as well. Could be a tough summer of cancelled plans. Stive Pesley and Miggins 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ariotofmyown Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 Just heard another guy at work has it and his gf too. Single jabs so far. There is about 150 people where I work and nearly everyone is working at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rev Posted July 12, 2021 Share Posted July 12, 2021 My lad got pinged, presumably from the pub he watched the Semi in, as all his mates did. Pub was open for the final though, even though Sunday was the day he got notified. ariotofmyown 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fingers crossed it comes out negative tell them to try and drink plenty and ice in the drink to help bring down tempure but also paracetamol and ibuprofen as well to help battle it and if they feel upto it try eat a little something when we had I barely ate anything at all. But try have a film fest if they have to spend 10 days at home. ariotofmyown and Miggins 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alexxxxx Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Had the opportunity to grab a second vaccine dose a few weeks early.. I know a few people doing the same. Feels like the best thing to do right now with cases still rising. Will be interesting to see what the impact was on the semi and final to cases... Data seemed to show that case growth was slowing. Its really interesting looking at what Australia are doing right now.. Due to terrible vaccine supply and banning of AZ vaccine for under 60s they've barely got anyone protected. NSW looking like they're going to go in to full lockdown again.. No end in site for them if they carry on down this road. To manage the first half of the pandemic so well and to be failing hard on the second half... Wolfie, Miggins, ariotofmyown and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfie Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 Time to wheel out the terminally "confused" again. Heard a North East doctor on 5Live this morning saying the relaxation and guidance is confusing for both patients and health professionals. Well, if my doctor is that easily confused, then I'm not sure I want him anywhere near my arse or elbow.

JoetheRam Posted July 13, 2021 Share Posted July 13, 2021 (edited) Let's be honest, the latest 'relaxation' is all just going to create more divisions and fraught interactions between the masked and the mask-less and put more people at risk - Government are essentially saying they're fine with paying for the economy getting going with 200 deaths per day. Don't think I'd be happy dying for the economy to be honest. All done by design by a shambles of a Government to deflect attention away from their own failings by setting the public against one another. Judging by this thread it will work as well.
